Description
SHORT STORY: Give us 5 hours per day help in our house AND with child care.
WANTED: hard-working FUN couple or SINGLETON (regardless of origin or orientation) willing to work enthusiastically (and with initiative) to carry out chores and help with the kids.
LONG STORY: Our family lives the oldest, biggest townhouse in a beautiful Spanish village. And we need help! This funky little village is equidistant between the two great main tourist Beach towns of Denia and Javea. We want you to have a fantastic time both with us and while making friends in the community.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are fully integrated in this fantastic village so we can introduce you to the locals where you can practice your Spanish. And you can practice your English with us at home. We also speak fluent Spanish & Dutch. We live in the pretty church square in the Casa del Senyoret which is steeped in history. We have a welcoming, busy house and we are relaxed and hectic at the same time. The village is tranquil but our house can be busy sometimes as we have lots of friends. (Covid times are quieter!). As we are busy we need people with GOOD INITIATIVE, responsible and fun to look after the kids. We go to bed quite early. And we try our best to keep the kids off devices....they are all addicted! Its a constant battle! We prefer non smokers....or to smoke OUTSIDE the home is OK as we don't want to normalise it in front of the kids. (Mum and Dad both quit smoking to try to set a better example for the kids) .
We love FISHING. We love paddle boarding. We love snorkeling. Mom loves climbing mountains.... we hope you will join us.

What else ...
It is IMPORTANT to have a drivers license but NOT essential. To enjoy the stunning local beaches and glorious mountains and scenery in your free time. We have bicycles too....but it's hot here!
We don’t have strict schedules and we are spontaneous people who keep busy having fun. But Mum/Dad go to bed early as we wake up for work early. But....you can stay up as late as you like! We love surfing, going to the beach, walking and lots of other activities. We are adventurous BUT we are very normal. Our kids enjoy hip hop dance classes, parkour, boxing, basketball, MMA classes, piano and singing. We have a “music room” that isnt used. Any inspiration you can give our kids is invaluable. Mum is a singer and has 2 music projects (one is a wedding band).
